There is a sysfs file which allows bits in the write-intent bitmap to be explicit set - indicating that the block is thought to be 'dirty'. When this happens we should really set recovery_cp backwards to include the block to reflect this dirtiness. In particular, a 'resync' process will refuse to start if recovery_cp is beyond the end of the array, so this is needed to allow a resync to be triggered.
